Why Lee Won
Thursday, May 27th, 2010
After intense competition between Lee Dewyze and Crystal Bowersox for the title of 2010 American Idol, Lee took home the title. It was a battle between reflective, general competence and quirky, stylistic competence, and general competence is what the American people wanted this time. Though an obvious majority of idol fans are delighted that Lee won, another group of people are wondering how could this possibly happen. Well, here is the final answer on Why Lee Won.
First, let's have a look at how Lee and Crystal have been doing on a weekly basis. The chart shows the percentage of opinions that were positive towards Lee and towards Crystal. Since the beginning of March, they have shared the top spot, but Lee has taken that spot on a more consistent basis.
Lee: Emotions towards the two contestants were fairly similar. About 48% of people had positive feelings towards Lee (as opposed to neutral or negative) while about 47% of people had positive emotions towards Crystal.
Lee: Recommendations for the two contestants were slightly higher for Lee. 43% of recommendations for Lee were positive as opposed to 39% for Crystal.
Lee: Physical appearance played a role as Lee generated 43% positive opinions about his looks while Crystal only generated 37% positive opinions about her looks.
Crystal: It could have been Crystal's wacky locks that pulled her down but it wasn't. Opinions about her hair generated 39% approval while opinions about Lee's hair, as ordinary as it is, generated 36% positive opinions.
Lee: Crystal clearly had an issue with her discolored teeth and this also contributed to her physical appearance scores. But, many people were able to get past that as 24% of opinions about her teeth were positive while 29% of opinions about Lee's teeth were positive.
Lee: Regardless of how true, Crystals disheveled hair and discolored teeth contributed to an overall opinion about cleanliness. Crystal generated only 34% positive scores in this regard while Lee generated 43% positive scores.
Lee: Crystal's unique personality did not go unnoticed as 20% of people approved of her quirkiness. But, the calm, even personality of Lee was more desired as 39% as opinions about Lee's emotional stability generated positive scores.
Lee: Lee's quietness was very appealing to people as he generated a 47% positive score compared to Crystal's 30% positive score.
Crystal: Not surprisingly, Crystal generated much higher new and different scores, with 50% positive opinions compared to Lee's 42% positive opinions.
Crystal: And, Crystal definitely owned the 'cool' factor as she generated 55% approval compared to Lee's 47% approval in this area.
Crystal: Crystal was also felt to be far better at selecting songs with 69% approval compared to 51% approval for Lee.
Crystal: These unique Crystal characteristics led to her generating slightly higher anticipation scores. Crystal generated 50% positive opinions while Lee generated 47% positive opinions.
Given that these are the areas generating the most differences between Lee and Crystal, one thing becomes clear. You might think appearances don't matter, but that is Why Lee Won.

ELKHART – The horrible death of a 9-year-old Fort Wayne girl is raising a lot of questions if parents truly know who is looking after their child.
Almost a week ago, Aliahna Lemmon and her two sisters were staying at a neighbor's house while her mother was trying to get rid of the flu. That is when the unexpected happened. Michael Plumadore, 39, brutally beat Lemmon to death, put her in a trash bag, and then kept her in the freezer. Later, affidavit said that Plumadore told police that he cut up her body with a hacksaw and then stuffed her remains into freezer.
Many people are asking why the children were staying with Plumodore. Police say he has a criminal record in Florida and North Carolina for trespassing and assault, and a conviction in Indiana for forgery.
So we pose the question: do you really know who is looking after your child?
WSBT's Colleen Ferreira spoke with a family specialist, who shared some resources for doing a background check on a caretaker.
Angie Rosenbrock who works at Child and Parents Service in Elkhart says finding a responsible babysitter is one of the most difficult decisions parents have to face.
"I don't think you can ever really know someone well enough to trust them," said Rosenbrock. "They really need to do a good job of investigating individuals."
So where should parents start?
"Ask for references, check those references, and call each and every one," said Rosenbrock.
After checking references, experts say to do a background check on that potential babysitter. Some official background searches cost money but there are other ways to learn about someone's past.
You can call your local sheriff's department or do an inmate search on their website to see if they have any arrest records on file for this person. If they have lived in other states, you definitely want to check their background in those states as well.
You can also go to www.familywatchdog.us, which is the national sex offender registry, where you can search by a specific name or address.
"I think sometimes parents do over-trust," said Rosenbrock. "I couldn't say we could prevent these tragedies but we could go a long way in making sure."
She advises parents to choose wisely. There is always a risk when leaving your child in the hands of another person.
Rosenbrock says to always have a handful of back up babysitters in your phone book, then, you are not tempted to call just anyone when you are in a pinch. Your kids are safe with the people you are leaving them with everyday.

World's first warm white LED to use
single phosphor with single emitting center
Breakthrough could lead to widespread use of
LEDs for indoor lighting
University of Georgia researchers have published
a report that details the fabrication of the world's
first light emitting diode (LED) to emit a warm white light using a
single light emitting material (phosphor) with a single emitting
center for illumination.
"Right now, white LEDs are mainly used
in flashlights and in automotive lamps, but they give off a bluish,
cool light that people tend to dislike, especially in indoor
lighting," said senior author Zhengwei Pan, an associate
professor in the department of physics in the UGA Franklin College
of Arts and Sciences and in the College of Engineering.
"Our material achieves a warm color temperature while at
the same time giving highly accurate color rendition, which is
something no single-phosphor-converted LED has ever been shown to
How they did it
In a majority of today's LED bulbs,
warm white light is achieved by using a blue LED chip coated with
phosphors to create what's aptly referred to as
phosphor-based white LEDs. Combining these source materials in an
exact ratio, however, can be a costly, time consuming endeavor.
What's more, the resulting color typically varies due to
the fact that the materials respond differently to temperature
To overcome these hurdles, Pan and his UGA team
created a new phosphor that combined minute quantities of europium
oxide with aluminum oxide, barium oxide, and graphite powders. They
then heated these powders at 2,642 F (1,450 C) in a tube furnace.
The vacuum of the furnace then pulled the vaporized materials onto
a substrate, at which point they were deposited as a yellow
luminescent compound in a bulb and illuminated by a blue LED
The result: warm white light.
Making sure the light meet expectations
There are two main variable used to assess the
quality of artificial light. First is correlated color temperature,
which measures the coolness or warmth of the light. Temperatures
less than 4,000 kelvins are considered ideal for indoor lighting,
while those above 5,000 kelvins give off more of a bluish
The other consideration is the ability of the
light source to replicate natural light. A value of more than 80 is
considered ideal for indoor lighting; lower values result in colors
that seem unnatural.
Tests that Pan and his UGA colleagues performed
indicate that the material they developed meets both thresholds,
with a correlated color temperature less than 4,000 kelvins, and a
color rendering index of 85.
While the future might look bright for this new
technology, there is still some work to do before it can be put to
actual use. For one, the efficiency of the material is much lower
than any of the bluish white LEDs on the market today. Also,
scaling the production to an industrial scale will be a major
challenge, given the fact that even the slightest variations in
temperature and pressure in the phosphor synthesis process can have
an adverse effect on the materials.
The team is presently working to discern how the
ions in the compound are arranged in hopes that a better
understanding of the compound at an atomic level will eventually
lead to an improvement in its efficiency.
"We still have more work to
do," Pan said, "but the color temperature and
rendition that we have achieved gives us a very good starting
The material is described in detail in the
current edition of the Nature Publishing Group journal
"Light: Science and Applications." It is

The Equal Opportunity Destroyer: Stress And Burnout On The Job
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, 03 October 2007 03:03
- Written by Dr. Nancy D. O'Reilly
Jane has been a team member in a laundry facility for many years. It is a demanding position that requires her to manage multiple projects and many repeated tasks.
These challenges often leave Jane feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. She admits that she is not handling the job pressures well, and is calling in sick and missing days on the job. In fact, going to work is increasingly hard and her stress has become a chronic issue. She feels tired all the time. Her acute stress is painful and she has not found ways to discharge it. Jane is in danger of burning out.
For many people, the phenomenon called "burnout" is a typical stress reaction. Simply put, burnout means a worker has lost motivation and job performance has declined; it can lead to termination or leaving the job. Its effects need to be dealt with immediately to prevent valuable, well-trained, experienced workers from walking out the door. This can and does affect the company's bottom line.
Stress has been called an equal opportunity destroyer. No one is immune from its effects. Some workers may express their stress openly but others may suppress and ignore stressor signals until they are desperately ill. Stress can cause physical symptoms such as headache, stomach problems, and ulcers and can leave employees vulnerable to disease. Emotional and behavioral stressors can also impact the overall productivity of the workplace. A worker who does not manage his or her stress may find that job performance declines and sick days increase.
Acute stress is painful but brief, and fortunately most employees readily find ways to discharge it. Chronic stress takes a terrible toll on the productivity of the workplace when it goes on for days, weeks, months, or even years without being processed or discharged.
Employers need to know how stress is affecting workers and offer solutions for stressors to ensure their employees' wellbeing and continued fitness for duty. Various experts even say that 80 percent -- even up to 100 percent of illness -- is stress-related.
In the workplace, many workers even become addicted to their own adrenaline. They love the rush they feel when they are stressed to the max and pumping hard. This can apply to home or work or even exercise. These workers may crash and burn before they'll seek help for their addiction and drive at work.
A wise employer or supervisor will monitor employees and notice if they are in danger of experiencing burnout. Is their job satisfaction and job performance declining? Does work seem harder to manage?
A symptom checklist can help workers identify if they are experiencing burnout and are at risk for illness and other severe consequences. Workers who check four or more symptoms need to act fast to keep from breaking down completely.
Workers may be burning out if they:
- Often forget things. (What 10 o'clock appointment?)
- Feel unusual fatigue. (Can't I go home yet?)
- Suffer from insomnia. (Watching old movies at 3 am)
- Experience changes in appetite. (Ravenous, or nothing looks good.) This can be associated with weight changes as well.
- Experience changes in behavior and mood. (Leave me alone or I'll kill you!)
- Often feel grumpy and crabby. (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)
- Get sick a lot. (My third cold this month)
- Want to withdraw from others. (Go away!)
- Feel anxiety and worry. (Now what's wrong?)
Workers who check four or more of the symptoms above are probably in the process of burning out. Managers and supervisors will need to intervene now, before it's too late! Encourage workers to tailor these three simple steps to their own style and personality and they'll be well on their way to recovering vibrant energy and zest for life.
- Nobody's perfect - why expect or demand that of yourself? For that matter, why expect or demand perfection from someone else?
- Draw upon your unique strengths to cope. Do the things that help you feel calm and centered. If you've forgotten what those are, you need to invest more in yourself so you can reconnect with what you know.
- Don't let one aspect of life dominate the others. Do you have a hobby or other activity you enjoy? If not, things are getting out of balance.
- Do you constantly feel you are out of time? Then it's time to cross off something you don't enjoy. Let someone else do it! Who knows, they just might enjoy it.
- It's tough feeling alone, especially in the middle of a group of busy people. So find people you can talk to at work, at home, or in the community. Find a place or activity that's stress-free.
- Share something with someone. Join a professional organization or socialize with people in your field who work for different employers. Everyone needs to be able to talk over work problems.
- Become a mentor or resource for someone else, perhaps in your own workplace, or your church, or other organization. Realizing how much you have to offer to others can be a great antidote to frustration and burnout.
- Remember that no one is indispensable. Find a better way to get the job done rather that just doing more of the same.
- Try to see opportunities instead of problems. It may be time to review your career goals if you are working just to earn money. Many people find that if they can do what they love, they love what they do.
- Schedule your days (and weeks, months, years) and work your plan. Investigate ways to adjust your schedule with flex-time, job-sharing or taking a new job.
- Find a mentor you respect. You are not the first person to struggle with work-life balance, and other people, (even your boss), might have a lot of suggestions to offer.
Most important of all, workers (and employers and supervisors!) need to remember that life is really much too short to waste it feeling freaked out and frazzled. By restoring some balance between the demands of the workplace and personal life, people can douse burnout and prevent stress from taking its terrible toll. Every person needs to take time to manage their stress so they can enjoy life.

@ml8: I tend to agree that cppunit seems to be rather outdated (and doesn't appear to be maintained, either), so, please, what (VisualStudio-friendly) alternative(s) do you recommend, i.e., find more "current"? Thanks!
In the last few days, I successfully integrated the 1.12.1 into NetBeans 7.4 on Mac OS X Mavericks. Keep in mind that the Apple Developer download for command line tools has to be obtained prior to building the cppunit libraries. The clang++ compiler has been used to do this. A few minutes spent reviewing the INSTALL text file helped guide how to set the CC and CXX environment variables appropriately. I have written a reply to a discussion board post that details the process more.
Not really up to date with features needed for modern C++ development.
The CppUnit library is great. I wanted to see my CppUnit testing results integrated with the official Eclipse CDT C/C++ Unit Testing Support similar to other C/C++ testing frameworks... So I created an Eclipse plugin to support vanilla CppUnit XML Test Reports with the official Eclipse CDT C/C++ Unit Testing Support plugin. I have made it available as a SourceForge project: eclipsecppunit My hope is that others will find it useful too!
Thanks! Usable tool

We've got lots of cheerleaders in this house again this year. Jesi will probably be the cheerleader this year (since Dani outgrew her outfit) but Dani has a pretty blue one that she got from the dance studio so she may want to go as that. She also might want to go as a ballerina (since we have 2 of those in the costume tote) we have a red M&M, a couple of witch costumes, ooo, there are two poodle skirts! Maybe I can get Jesi to wear that this year (I made them and they are SO cute!!) I can't remember what all is up there, I'll have to get that tote down pretty soon I guess. I never dress up, I'm a big ol stick in the mud LOL

So, I know that I have mentioned time and time again how that ONLY contraception that will guarantee that you won't get pregnant is abstinence. However, I am also a realist and understand that many of you are having sex -- so I am hoping that you are using birth control. I am wondering, though... how many of you are making your contraception less effective without even realizing?
Yep, it happens. Something as simple as having a misconception about contraception or not knowing everything that may cause your birth control to fail can be the difference between whether or not you could be expecting a little bundle of joy in nine months. Though you may not be purposely sabotaging your chances of contraceptive success, you can be... without even knowing it. But, what kind of Guide to Contraception would I be if I didn't bring this to your attention? No longer will you be unaware of how you may potentially be doing lowering the effectiveness of your birth control. Consider yourself finally "in the know"...

Cancer Health Center
Clinical Management of BRCA Mutation Carriers
In a larger cohort of breast cancer patients (n = 336) from families with documented BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations and 9.2 years of follow-up, the rate of CBC was 28.9% at a mean interval of 5.5 years. Prior oophorectomy was associated with a 59% reduction in the risk of CBC.[263] Another case-control study of mutation carriers and noncarriers identified through ascertainment of women with bilateral breast cancer found that systemic adjuvant chemotherapy reduced CBC risk among mutation carriers (RR = 0.5, 95% CI, 0.2-1.0). Tamoxifen was associated with a nonsignificant risk reduction (RR = 0.7, 95% CI, 0.3-1.8). Similar risk reduction was seen in noncarriers; however, given the higher absolute CBC risk in carriers, there is potentially a greater impact of adjuvant treatment in risk reduction.[276] A high concordance in estrogen receptor status and tumor grade was reported among women from a registry of BRCA1/BRCA2 carriers who had bilateral breast cancer.[277] The German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer estimated the risk for CBC in members of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation-positive families. At 25 years following the first breast cancer, the risk for CBC was close to 50% in both BRCA1 and BRCA2 families. The risk was also inversely correlated with age in this study, with the highest risks seen in women whose first breast cancer was before age 40 years. [230] A comparison of 655 women with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations undergoing breast-conserving therapy versus those undergoing mastectomy noted that both treatment groups experienced high rates of CBC, exceeding 50% by 20 years of follow up. Rates were significantly higher among women with BRCA1 mutations compared with those with BRCA2 mutations, and among women whose first breast cancer occurred at or before age 35 years.[278] The WECARE study, a large population-based nested case-control study of CBC, reported a 10-year risk of CBC among BRCA1/BRCA2 mutation carriers of 15.9%, compared with a risk of 4.9% among noncarriers. Risks were also inversely related to age at first diagnosis in this study.[279]
Thus, despite differences in study design, study sites, and sample sizes, the data on CBC among women with BRCA1/BRCA2 mutations show several consistent findings:
- The risk at all time points studied is significantly higher than that among sporadic controls.
- The risk continues to rise with time since first breast cancer, and reaches 20% to 30% at 10 years of follow up, and 40% to 50% at 20 years in most studies.
- Some, but not all, studies show an excess of CBC among BRCA1 carriers compared with BRCA2 carriers.
- The risk for CBC is greatest among women whose first breast cancer occurs at a young age.

I have been ill for a while but am back now.
Now am wondering how to populate the table :category_id so that when I do @jobs.category.find(params[:category_id]) if this is right,
i return all the jobs under that category. How do I deal with the actions in the controller/model?
You'll just have something like this, within your @form_for@ block:
That'll work in your edit form as well.
Hi, Am new to Rails and Ruby. I have 2 models Job and Category. I want to select a category from a radio_button list when creating a new job in the jobs => :new action.
Could someone tell me how to deal with the form_for @jobs given that this same form is also used to upload a logo image.

U. of Michigan sociologist examines the net effects of Cuban exodus on the stability of the island's government.
On April 13, Silvia Pedraza, Associate Professor of Sociology, University of Michigan, spoke on "Democratization and Emigration: Cuba's Exodus and the Development of Civil Society." Pedraza examined the impact that the ongoing exodus from Cuba during the 1990s and the first years of the twenty-first century has had on the island. Are exit and opposition mutually exclusive strategies, as many scholars have claimed? Officials in the Cuban government tend to share this position, viewing the exodus as a safety valve that releases popular tension and dissatisfaction. But Pedraza showed that emigration tended to open the island to the outside world, created personal links between those who stayed behind and their families and friends overseas, and encouraged visits to Cuba by recent expatriates, precisely the type of emigrants who had the most active connections to the island's population. Through these mechanisms, leaving ended up bolstering ¬rather than weakening civil society and civil resistance.
Professor Pedraza's talk was part of the Latin American Center's Social Science Colloquium series.

To be fair I believe the #3 player had his offer pulled due to off-field issues. #10 wasn't offered.
Missouri added 20 players from 8 different states on Wednesday and Thursday. A breakdown of the Tigers' "target zone" is below:
Missouri = 11 recruits
Texas = 3
Alabama = 1
California = 1
Florida = 1
Georgia = 1
Illinois = 1
Kansas = 1
In-State Signees = 55.0%
Out-Of-State Signees = 45.0%
Let's not sugarcoat this one. Whether Gary Pinkel looks at recruiting rankings or not, this class doesn't look great on paper. All of those mailers and billboards targeting Florida and Georgia? The Tigers grabbed one recruit from each state. Also, while signing 11 in-state kids looks solid at first glance, Mizzou lost the top player in the state to Ohio State, the #3 player in the state to Kansas State, the #7 player to Nebraska, and 10th best player to — gulp — Kansas. A total of six programs entered the Show-Me State and made off with at least one member of the state's top 15 (as ranked by Rivals.com). To be fair, Bobby Petrino never had to have great recruiting classes at Arkansas because his system was well ahead of the curve. Perhaps Pinkel's is, too, and last year was just a nightmare brought on by injury after injury after injury. Pinkel had better hope so because this kind of signing class paired with that kind of season tend to warm a man's seat. Right or wrong, fans do look at recruiting rankings.

For about 70 years, the standard treatment for patients with advanced prostate cancer was drugs that blocked male hormones feeding the tumor. If that stopped working and the disease progressed, oncologists turned to chemotherapy to kill the cancer cells.
This timetable is about to change. Results of a clinical trial led by a Dana-Farber researcher revealed that such patients lived longer if started on both a hormone blocker and a chemotherapy drug at the same time. The government-sponsored trial found that 69 percent of men receiving both treatments were alive at three years, compared with 52.5 percent of men who initially got just the hormone blocker. The advantage was so striking – especially for patients with greater degrees of cancer spread – that the National Cancer Institute publicized the findings ahead of schedule to alert doctors and patients.
"The results of this study are practice-changing for some patients," says Christopher Sweeney, MBBS, clinical director of Dana-Farber's Lank Center for Genitourinary Cancer, who headed the trial. We asked him to explain:

I love her outfit!
Charm says:
i need her leather pants immediately. need.
WendyB says:
Damn, girl's got some skinny legs! She's cute...
It's disturbing that you all focus on what she is wearing, when it's plain as day she has a serious eating disorder. She needs help, not comments about how great she looks-encouraging her to stay at a such a dangerous weight. I understand that this is a fashion website, but I hope you all agree that someone's well being is much more important than what they're wearing.
Carina says:
I agree, she has some serius anorexia issues.
(R)evolver74 says:
are those glasses ray ban? anyone know?
Nina (femme rationale) says:
wow, her pieces are so simple but together they make such a chic look. love it.
marie says:
no! she is too skinny...like a skeleton. scary!!!
The Rora says:
amazing boots!
must have boots like that!
TheJunction says:
skeleton chic...scary and not hot. poor girl.
naboonies says:
some people has body build like this. sometimes it doesn't matter how much you skip on meals you just can't achieve this look. so, who are these ppl to say she's anorexic?
Wholesome Foodie says:
I have to admit the first thing I saw was this girl's legs. Aesthetically it's very nice but hopefully her health is not being neglected.
oh how i wish i was as skinny as her... *sigh*
deep_in_vogue says:
her legs are too skinny, but the outfit sure lookes great !!
dapper kid says:
I love the boots, and that scarf is wonderful.
dapper kid says:
Oh and while she does have thin legs, I feel it is quite insensitive and rude to tar her with having an eating disorder. I wonder whether people would be equally comfortable commenting that an overweight person should eat less with such vigour.
Sascha says:
Whoa! Lots of heated comments!
I like her outfit, very neo grunge meets biker chick in the city. I'm going to tip toe away now......
letslivefast says:
loveee this look!
Min says:
even though she is indisputably skinny, isn't it rude to assume that she must have an eating disorder?
Emery says:
Wonder how many "too skinny" comments come from overweight people?
TEXTSTYLES says:
hemingway's got some good looking genes... sheesh
beauty and brains?
love the leather pants and those shades.
anyone know the brand on her parka? Nice outfit! And yes she is skinny, but still very beautiful!
Aodhan says:
This young lady may or may not be unnaturally thin naturally, but it really is hard to look t her without thinking of hospitals rather than glamour or style.
altamiranyc says:
Personally, I think this whole anorexia issue has been blown out of proportion. Some people are genetically overweight despite not eating much food and some people are genetically skinny despite eating a lot of food.
There is no official evidence that Dree has been professionally diagnosed with anorexia. No one has provided verifiable documentation substantiating any claim to her genetic, neurobiological, nutritional, psychological, or sociological conditions that prove her alleged anorexic condition.
Being slim may be a common symptom of anorexia, but in it of itself as provided from a picture, slimness is not sufficient to prove that she is anorexic.
Just my two cents.
It appears I cannot comment on the weight issue that's going on here...Cute clothes though, but just plain ugly on her...No hard feelings WSE!
& Sure this site is all about style and what not...but clothes make the person...
MsSvelteNY says:
OMG - I was that skinny @ her age. Matter o fact, I was all joints, lanky n lithesome, trying to find clothes in the girls section. Almost 10+ yrs later and I've filled out to a nice rounded size. (still in the singles digits thank you very much) It's just a stage in life I think. It's not always a health issue. I know if people constantly commented on my weight (which they did), I would tell em to go somewhere.
shimu's holiday says:
Love it!! I really like her Helmut Land pants.
boring decade old bag. tights everyone on the street is wearing some variation of. def not your best although I stil love your blog
lisa says:
That's quite a last name to live up to!
just another naturally thin girl model
Kat Walks says:
i was disturbed by this photo, too. i hope she pulls it together.
while she may not have an eating disorder as such, theres no denying that being that thin is not healthy and so unchic, i think its so sad people here aspire to be that thin.
I totally agree with the comment made above. It is truly a sad thing. And this comes from a very skinny girl, btw...(but not THAT skinny)
Model Whispers says:
Love all those rocker girls with leather pants on their skinny legs and big boots. mmmmmmmmm
Maryda says:
what boots are those????
Tiphaine says:
I love that look !
That's some nice thinspiration for the day!
If you've seen other pictures of dree you know she's not rail thin. That pic isn't a good representation.
MODA CADISI says:
Love the style and the boots!!!!
too skinny...
I am 5'9, 115 lbs, and 34 years old. We all look like this in my family. To call someone out on a eating disorder when you don't even know them is wrong and hurtful. If this girl had thick legs would you all be talking about the dangers of obesity? Probably not because it's not as acceptable. I now like my body and I'm glad I can eat what I want, but when I was the same height and 100 lbs in my teens, it was all of the cruel comment like the ones here that made me hide my legs and wear tights under my jeans to look bigger. Not fun when your from Hawaii.
totallymisslikey says:
she is gorgeous. and not anorexic
her legs do look sickly thin. If she has an illness or not posting her picture does lead people to associate her stick thin figure with a positive/stylish/hip image to follow...
ZuKi says:
good outfit, beautiful girl, but I'm shocked with her legs-they are so thin!!!!:0
I too like those legging-type pants;)! and also the jacket, but to comment on her legs and also her health, I think she must have lost weight to be a model, although I do not know if she has an eating disorder, if you look on "http://www.celebrityphoto.com/scripts/search/event-search.pl?keyword=56th%20Annual%20ACE%20Eddie%20Awards%20021906&search_type=headline" she has always been thin, but over the past couple of years she lost weight(i.e.most models have to be ultra-skinny to succeed in modeling industry.)
Great look but yeah, too skinny. Not accusing her of having an eating disorder, but I don't think this is the most responsible photo to put up on a site that young girls check for advice on how to look...
I saw her in the film "the truth about angels". She's the real angel in the movie. Really lovely. Davide Sordella. www.011films.com
emily says:
love this blog. i've recently become obsessed with dree...she's insane. love this pic. i just posted her interview magazine shoot http://fablittlethings.blogspot.com
Arielle says:
Love her outfit, but i can't get over how disturbingly skinny her legs are, not healthy or attractive
Mariana says:
She would be sooooo more beautiful if she wasn't that skinny. It's not even attractive that way!
When leggings are baggy, there's a problem...
I saw her a few months ago in the Jalouse magazine and she didn't look THAT skinny, she looked very beautiful and healthy. I must admit the first thing I thought when I saw her on the last issue of Teen Vogue was she's too skinny! and even her face looks too bony and pale. I don't mean to offend people who are naturally skinny (such as me), but I'm pretty sure this isn't natural..it's such a shame because she really is beautiful, and I love her style, but I think we shouldn't overlook this, i just find it horrible to ignore her and the pain she must be going through

My family and friends will concur that I am the world's worst at creating wish lists for birthday and Christmas presents. My excuse is that they're only about six weeks apart. Honestly, how could anyone make two lists in so short a time? But with audiobooks, coming up with a wish list is easy. In fantasy worlds where fairy tales live, three wishes are the norm. I'll limit myself to that now.
During my years in libraries, I've seen audiobook collections move from long-playing records, to cassettes, to compact discs, and now to downloadable formats. Every time the format changes, librarians are faced with the question of how much to duplicate. Do we go all the way back to Grafton's A Is for Alibi as a download, when we already own it and all the others on CD? We struggle to balance economic reality with listener pressure. However, a greater problem seems to me to be the number of recorded books that publishers never update from cassette to CD, yet alone to downloadable.
There are wonderful authors and fine recordings lost forever unless they're transferred, republished, and made newly available in updated formats. I've long argued that, as audiobooks, many older titles reach new audiences; audiobooks appeal to listeners who may never have bothered with the printed book but have discovered the pleasures of listening. Where's Robertson Davies, for example? His complex, wry, irresistible tales resonate on audio; yet, they seem totally unavailable in today's formats.
Similarly, Georgette Heyer deserves to be rerecorded, but I'd settle for having the unabridged recordings from the last decade made more readily available on CD and download. Since they're written in a more complex style than fans of modern Regency romances are accustomed to, her witty, dialogue-rich stories are perfect for this medium. On audio, all the pleasure of her prose, characters, and stories shine through. Audio has also transformed my appreciation for Dickens, whom I once found tedious rather than amusing and insightful. My starred reviews of recent recordings speak to my pleasure in the audio versions. Great performances bring new life to a wide range of classics and other not-to-be-forgotten fiction and nonfiction titles; it's not only the newest titles that circulate on audio. I know I'm not the only listener who's concerned about losing these great performances. We librarians need to start demanding the titles and formats we need when we see publishers at conferences and when we evaluate online downloadable services.
While I appreciate that more and more titles are available on audio, I'm also aware that this phenomenon has given rise to another issue: some are not edited as carefully as they should be. The incorrect pronunciation of geographic and personal names has long been a pet peeve. Certainly there are narrators who contact authors to ascertain the correct pronunciation of fictional names and places, as Scott Brick has done with Brian Herbert for the Dune titles. That's great. But what about the narrator who mispronounces Lisle, Illinois, as if it were the French city rather than with a long i sound? We all grimace when we hear local place-names tortured. Honestly, is it that hard to check? Houston Street in Greenwich Village is not pronounced like the city in Texas, nor is Greenwich pronounced as if it were green-witch.
Mispronunciations of personal names can be just as jarring, pulling us out of the story and causing us to question the narrator's skill. I used to think we could count on audiobooks to provide the correct pronunciation of authors' names, but I've heard many examples when that's not the case. Barbara Rosenblat, whom I interviewed as Booklist's 2009 Voice of Choice, spoke about creating long lists of names and terms for which she wanted to be certain of the pronunciation. That kind of care is worth the effort, and that's one of the reasons she's the fine narrator she is. Publishers may not be aware of the extent of the problem; I hope you'll join me in reporting the most egregious errors.
Lastly, I wish there were a way to make the wonderful recordings from Audible.com available commercially. Years ago, libraries could subscribe to Audible but no longer. This situation seems very similar to the e-book problem libraries face. In both formats, only certain titles can be made available to our patrons for downloading. Such a shame. Audible has embarked on an exciting and ambitious recording program, but only occasionally does a commercial publisher pick up these recordings, and even then, they may be download only and not necessarily available to libraries.
Among the titles we're missing, there's Rhys Bowen's romantic cozy mystery series, Her Royal Spyness, read with delightfully arch humor by Katherine Kellgren. Audible has also enticed well-known actors to read classics, so Dustin Hoffman reads Jerzy Kozinski's Being There, Claire Danes reads Margaret Atwood's Handmaid's Tale, and Colin Firth narrates Graham Greene's The End of the Affair. Audible has also published a splendid recording of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with Simon Vance and Kellgren and a full cast of name actors. Wouldn't we all love to share these with our patrons—and listen ourselves?
Enough complaining. It's time to get back to listening. Grover Gardner has transported me to Barrayar in Lois McMaster Bujold's latest Vorkosigan saga entry, Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. I'm immersed in the antics of familiar secondary character Ivan Vorpatril, whose task of protecting a young woman on the run proves more difficult—and more interesting—than this confirmed bachelor expected.
Join me in the exhibits at ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, visiting the audio publishers' booths, campaigning for more audiobooks—and perhaps spreading a little fairy dust, just in case magic does work and grants my wishes. And share what you're enjoying when you ask what I'm listening to!

WEDNESDAY'S LIST ... of beans 'n greens 'n other things:
A FOOTBALL weekend in the rearview mirror says:
1. Alabama's offensive line got its fanny handed to it by VPI.
2. I'm sick of the Johnny Manziel mess. In Saturday's game it was snap the ball, move the camera to Johnny Arrogance. On every play.
3. If Auburn gets a quarterback, the Tigers could be a good football team.
4. LSU may be as good as anybody, including Alabama.
Enough ... on to next week.
IF YOU'RE looking for the latest signs of Anniston's failing health, check out the removal of traffic lights around town.
Truth is, they're no longer needed. A view from along about 24th Street south on Noble looks sort of like a church parking lot on Monday.
That's a stretch, but not by much. Best I can figure, at least four or more lights have been removed on Noble Street alone. And that includes Noble at 22nd Street, a once-busy intersection that fed traffic east to Quintard.
Just thought I'd throw that one in ...
QUOTABLE: "Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down." – Oprah Winfrey
LISTEN UP ... say "Look Up."
It has come to my attention that the people who look after my aging eyes now have a website, "Drs. Murrell, Sevensen, & Ellis." That's moving on up.
Dr. Gary Murrell is the one who peers into my eyes and mumbles stuff of which I have not the faintest. But I will stand up in court and testify to their knowledge of good, bad, and old in-between eyesight.
In fact, on one visit I expressed my confidence in Murrell's abilities:
"Dr. Murrell, I have no doubt you guys are know something about good eyesight. There's not a single bad-looking lady on your staff."
Fact is, they're all lovely ... and very nice, too.
NOTHING IS forever, not even Foote Brothers Furniture.
A press release in my email reports the only Foote Brothers store remaining is in Sylacauga and it's closing forever.
Foote Brothers was never in Anniston, but was started in Alabama City back in 1947 and you couldn't listen to a radio station in this area without hearing a commercial for the company. You got the feeling there was a Foote Brothers Furniture on every street corner in America.
Unless you came in late, you know what I mean.
IN MY "bath library," there is a copy of "Images of America, Anniston." It's a pictorial book of our town from founding into the 1990s and is a good "buddy" to pass some time with.
It was put together by a Kimberly O'Dell, but I have a question. The cover depicts two men with two dogs. Nowhere can I find a photo credit.
If you know, let me know.
IT IS lunch at Jack's Sunday. I'm ready to leave, the blonde keeps visiting. Verbatim:
Me: "Let's go. You need to know it's a 3-mile walk home."
Wife: "I hope you don't get tired."
I love a good "zinger," even when it hits me. Our Blue Mountain Baptist friends loved that one, too.
Hey, laughter is good medicine, huh?
BIRTHDAYS: Sept. 1 – Jim Martin Sr.; Sept. 4 – Ben Cunningham Sr.; Sept. 6 – Dr. Rohit Patel.
IF THE GOOD Lord's willing and I can find a high school guidance counselor who isn't suffering from back-to-work blues, we'll get our weekly "Teenager of The Week" back here next week.
Thank you for visiting.

Wilmette >Food & Dining > Walker Bros Orig Pancake House
153 Green Bay Rd, Wilmette, IL | Directions 6009142.070530 -87.704188
Mon. - Sun. 6:30am - 10pm
Try it and See For Yourself! – Any food chain especially known for breakfast that has the "original pancake house" in the title is worth a try. This place is not bad. I enjoy the omelets and the crepes...really good!
I just don't get it... – This place is Terrible with a capital T. I do not understand what all the fuss is about! You could get a breakfast of equal or better quality at Denny's, for a lot less money and a lot less time spent standing in line. I have been dragged here several times by well-meaning people, and so have tried nearly everything on the menu in a vain attempt to find something decent to eat. The pancakes were rubbery. The syrup is fake maple. The crepes were nothing special, and rather bland. The hash browns were burnt on the outside, raw on the inside, on each visit. The omelets were bland and watery. They managed to screw up French Toast...FRENCH TOAST, people! They used thin slices of regular sandwich bread instead of thick slices as most breakfast places do, and, as a result, the toast was so tough and over-cooked I could barely cut it with the knife. I will never willingly set foot in this restaurant again. Don't believe the hype!
Convivial breakfast heaven packs 'em in for legendary apple pancakes and egg creations. – The Scene
Surrounded by Tiffany-style stained glass windows and light fixtures, families and friends crowd wooden tables and booths. Everything is packed tight, so expect to get to know your neighbors. And it's loud, what with the tile floors.
The Food
On this menu, it's breakfast all day, every day. Favorites include the cinnamony baked apple pancake, plus other sweet fixes like chocolate chip or banana pancakes, crepes, French toast and Belgian waffles. Other options include oven-backed super-fluffy omelettes(the bacon and swiss is a definite winner) with a side of sausage (regular or chicken), or the quiche-like, veggie-laden Danish Garden. Note that hash browns must be ordered as a side dish--most items do, though, come with an order of three pancakes on the side.
Favorite old fashioned breakfast food – I've been going here since I was a little girl. Over 15 years! They haven't changed their menu. Always good old fashioned breakfast food. You have to try the German Apple pancakes. There's usually a bit of a wait on the weekends but the turnover is quick. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a no frills classic breakfast place that's steps above diner food.
Best breakfast -- if you can get in – Try to sneak in here anytime other than a weekend if you want the most amazing, bigger-than-your-head dutch pancakes (the puffy, volcano-like kind) you've ever had. You're already blowing the diet, so go ahead and get the apple -- you won't regret it. Only problem is this place is so popular that you just can't avoid an hour wait on the weekends (even when I got there once at 7:30am!).
a (good) experience – This is one of those classic places you have to try at least once. The portions are huge and sinfully delicious. The place is always crowded. And the Dutch Baby pancakes are fantastic.
Incredible food - best pancake house anywhere – You cannot beat this pancake house - no cheap food like diners/IHOP - they cook your food fresh and from scratch. AMAZING. I've eaten there no less than 25 times, and every time the food is incredible. Recommended orders: German Pancake (Dutch Baby is the miniature version), Apple Pancake, 49ers/flapjacks, chocolate crepes. Kid-friendly. Be forewarned - it's so popular that it's usually quite busy, especially on weekends.
Thank god – There's a place that makes a dutch baby pancake! I thought that anytime I wanted one I'd have to go to my mother's house. The apple pancake is also great, enough for probably 3 people. And don't forget the bacon-laden waffles... Genius! Service is average, but that's about the only average thing about this place.
The absolute BEST – This is our favorite place for breakfast. We had enjoyed breakfast there on countless occasions throughout many years. We've move to California and have yet to find a place that even comes close to the Eggs Benedict, or the Santa Fe omlette, or the crepes (which one to pick???) But the hands down winner is the apple pancake that absolutely no one has come close to replicating. Even though we have seen countless celebrities at breakfast, the breakfast in tinsel town doesn't come close.
Worth a try! – This place has great panckes! I love to come here, and my daughter just loves the food (she always want to come here)! It can be expensive, so I do not come often, but they do have a kids and senior Grand Treat (pancakes and eggs or sausage)which is inexpensive.

Grep is total awesomeness. It can be used to take much of the tedium out of typesetting, and allow the designer to concentrate more on the design. When making templates, it also makes the templates more fool-proof for the person who will actually be putting the templates to use.
That being said, I would have to totally disagree with those who think that soft returns are evil. Soft returns are a very powerful typesetting tool, and while yes, they can be used for evil by those who don't understand how they are properly used, they are not evil in and of themselves.
One of the most basic legitimate uses of a soft return is when your editor wants to change the wrap of a paragraph. A soft return is the most logical way to do this, without picking up the before/after space of the paragraph style, while still honoring the keep rules in the paragraph style.
Not correct if you have the paragraph composer in use. A soft return could easily rewrap the entire paragraph and make it look like crap.
One of the most basic legitimate uses of a soft return is when your editor wants to change the wrap of a paragraph. A soft return is the most logical way to do this, without picking up the before/after space of the paragraph style, while still honoring the keep rules in the paragraph style.
I wonder if this is actually the most logical way, as you claim, or if it's a matter of preference. I'd assume that nonbreaking spaces and the No Break attribute would be superior ways to affect the wrap of a paragraph, but I deliberately say "superior" instead of "most logical." In my case, No Break is the best, because both the nonbreaking space and the soft return would interfere with my translation memory tool. However, sometimes I use the NBSP and the soft return anyways, because it's the least-bad solution in a given circumstance.
So, if "logical" == "least bad" then I might be willing to agree. However, different people obviously have different ideas of what is "most logical."
I'm with Jongware on this. The biggest problem with using a forced linebreak anywhere except where you ALWAYS want a line break is that any number of things -- adding or deleting a word or correcting a typo, changing the column width, for example -- can leave you with a line that breaks at the beginning instead of the end. Non-breaking spaces and No Break are less likely to cause this kind of trouble.
Well put.
The soft line break inserts a new line as sure as a paragraph break (regular Hard Return) does. You wouldn't want to insert hard returns and change justification to "Full, all lines", just to avoid a single badly broken word -- even when the result looks the same as with a soft line break!
It's sort of the same as using a tab instead of a single space, somewhere in the middle of a running paragraph. Sure, it might work for that one occurrence, entirely indistinguishable from a "regular" space, but as soon as the text reflows due to editing, the tab will jump out in a most inconvenient way.
A non-breaking space or changing to non-breaking would do the same thing, if there was change in the paragraph content. So, at this point I think it is just a matter of preference. Personally, I would prefer to just let InDesign do it's thing. But editors always want to tweak something, even if it's not the same way that they tweaked the exact same paragraph last time.

Real-Time Data, Real-World Problems
Wayne Winston
John and Esther Reese Professor of Decision Sciences, Indiana University
"We teach our students how to think—and that gives our students an advantage."
Wayne Winston rocks the spreadsheet.
One of the foremost experts in spreadsheet modeling and applied probability, Winston can bend Microsoft Excel to solve all kinds of problems—from ranking football teams to estimating a demand curve to determining which mix of players or products will yield the best results on the court or the biggest impact to the bottom line.
"The spreadsheet is a canvas for the business analyst," says Winston. "I can't paint masterpieces, but I can paint a really beautiful picture of the real world in Excel."
And Winston's paintings with numbers are in high demand with corporations and organizations as diverse as Cisco, U.S. Army, GM, Ford, Eli Lilly, Bristol Myers, Pfizer, WellPoint, eBay, Procter & Gamble, Microsoft, and the Dallas Mavericks. His book, Mathletics: How Gamblers, Managers, and Sports Enthusiasts Use Mathematics in Baseball, Basketball, and Football, largely draws on the statistics tracking and rating system he developed for Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks and a Kelley School alumnus.
Whether he's using data analysis for a sports team, a Fortune 500 corporation, or a case study for his MBA students, Winston focuses on how real-time data can help teams and businesses make better decisions.
"Math can't solve everything," says Winston, "but it's an important tool. You're crazy if you don't do the math, but you shouldn't base decisions purely on math."
Winston's reputation as a strong teacher and dynamic lecturer is long-standing. An avid reader of both the Economist and People magazines, Winston has been known to pepper his lectures with business case studies along with examples taken straight from the tabloids. His enthusiasm, expertise, and ability to keep classroom discussions fresh has earned him more than 30 teaching awards over his tenure at Indiana University, seven of them campuswide recognitions.
"I like showing our students how they can use Excel as a tool to solve real problems—in marketing, finance, supply-chain management," says Winston. "Students at the Kelley School come out of the undergraduate and MBA programs better at Excel than almost any other school."
That focus on real-world applications is a big part of the Kelley School philosophy, Winston adds.
"We focus on teaching our students how to think," he says. "And that gives our students an advantage."
In Brief
Favorite TV shows
"Mad Men, Friday Night Lights, and Gossip Girl."
Web sites I visit every day
"My own, waynewinston.com, and truehoop.com."
What I'm reading right now
"To be a good teacher in my field, you have to know Excel, math, and business, so I try to keep up on the latest books in those areas. But gossip also interests me, so add People and US magazine to the list."
